What if the truth is required but your tongue is dry and you can't get it out now? What if you're floating away but you get too high and you can't come back down? Up, up and away, looking back at the rest of the flocks to the down, down back What if you oughta go home but you bump again, and you bump again Most of us just won't make it Most of us just gotta fake it But ninety's close and Ninety nine is almost true Ninety nine and half, it just won't do It just won't do It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh It just won't do What if your man steps out and you're stuck with the junk and they're working on the clamp down? Oh, I thought I told you before, you never take it so far that you can't take it back down But if you wanna fix something broken, man, it's bad enough we exist on this stolen land 'Cause if you just can ignore the past, she says, "What the hell you talking about baby, Of course you can" Ooh Most of us just won't make it Most of us just gotta take it Someone right the wrongs, oh Someone sing a song to kill my blues Ninety nine and half, it just won't do It just won't do It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh It just won't do
